The GPS on the carts is ridiculous

Haven't played here in years. The course has always been hit and miss with how well it's being maintained and Sunday it was in good shape. The greens were as fast as I ever remember. The only negative from that aspect was both bunkers I ended up in were in terrible shape (dirt with large rocks, not sand). We rode and the GPS that is currently on the carts was too much. On the good side, the available music and other information was great. On the down side, the carts slowed down for various areas non-stop. There were multiple times where we got consecutive warnings that ran in a loop (steep ramp coming, this is a blind spot, steep ramp coming, this is a blind spot, repeating one after the other) to where we couldn't get data on the course until we pulled past the hill. It was beyond distracting, to the point that one of the people in our group said they wouldn't be back unless they were assured those were removed.

Awesome Course

The course was in green shape. I found it challenging but not too difficult. The greens were very tricky. Overall we had a great round and will definitely be playing again.

Back From the Dead

I have lived less than a mile from this course for 21 years and 5 or 6 years ago I had sworn off this course, never to return. They had let a good facility with such potential circle down the drain. Fast forward 5 years and I started to hear good things, so I decided to see for myself. Save for the condition of the bunkers, Mystic Creek has truly been resurrected. Plenty of rain in the area has helped many courses, but its obvious that there is new management/ownership or something that is pumping new life into these three 9 hole tracks. Charging fair rates, its one you should check out.

Best Public Course In Michigan

I’ve played at some very nice, expensive public courses. This blows 98.9 percent of the public course out of the water. From the maintenance to the layout. Everything is amazing. Very challenging course but definitely recommend to anyone trying to play something different. They have 3 layouts at the course to choose from, you can pick based on your style of play.

Hope this course stays public and prices stay where they are at.

Very good course

The course is in really good shape for this late in the seasons. Pace of play was good. A few really fun holes. We went on a very hot day and the course gave complementary water bottles and had staff traveling around to refill them. Very please with the course.

Excellent Experiance

Really loved the course layout, each hole very unique and challenged you to use your whole bag. The only downer or lacking piece were the bunkers. From what I understand they have had a bunch or rain recently so they were a bit washed out and hard. Greens were quick and true, rest of the course was in really good well taken care of condition. One of those courses you would score better on the second go around. Lots of blind shots, dog legs, water, keeps you on your toes.

Too rushed

The course was in good shape and nice enough. However we felt very rushed! The first 9 holes we never had anyone in front or in back of our foursome except for 1 time when we let a twosome play through. We kept getting notifications to speed up play and coming in to the clubhouse at the end of nine for beverages, as we never had a cart come out even after calling to have one sent out to our hole, a ranger followed us to our starting hole for our next 9 holes and told us to speed up play again! We are not slow golfers and as I already stated no one was behind us. On the second 9 there was another twosome and a threesome behind us which as anyone would know ,they would play faster than our foursome...duh! Be we were playing at a normal pace but yet they came out again ,saying the turf manager was getting complaints . Maybe they shouldn't book twosomes or threesomes behind foursomes! Would not come back here because of this issue...not fun to play when being unnecessarily picked on! Shame on them...
